Yeah, I should have explained more my agenda here. I'm not looking for
this kind of module to swap with something else or even use in an HEI
dizzy. I'm looking for a module that can give me a very basic, dirt
simple advance ramp INSTEAD of mechanical advance.
Just pretend I'm making my own dizzy with NO centrifugal nor vacuum adv.
mechanisms, just a mag pickup and a spinning rotor and a cap (sorta like
an HEI dizzy, but without the coil upstairs), and yet I DON'T wanna HAVE
to need an ECM to give me a primitive electrical equivalent of
centrifugal advance. Seewhadamean? That's what I've got when I
disconnect the ECM from my '83 V6 GM HEI dizzy, presently.
But, I can't use the 6 cyl version module that I have on my GM car, on a
4cyl engine, cause the advance wouldn't likely be right.
So that's my quest, a module for a 4 cyl car that has a rudimentary
advance ramp built-in. Anyone?
